Hello Everyone.

We are running a BETA program for our new version of Ditto (Professional Edition). To be
sure Ditto is for you, please watch the following 8 minute video.

Instructions on how to proceed are at the end of the video. BETA testers will get a
free copy of the new Pro Edition of Ditto (not the Standard Edition currently on the site).

Please do not reply to this post. I will update it when we stop taking new testers.

Thank you.

Regards,

Beta testers needed for MPLite

The beta testing for MPLite has been going well.  Phase 3 of the beta testing will begin on Wed or Thurs of this week.


We are soliciting 2 or 3 additional volunteers for this final phase of beta testing, and anticipate this phase to last no longer than a week.  Volunteers should be experienced working transcriptionists, but not so busy that they don't have time to read the help file, and set things up in MPLite.  We need the testers to actually work in the program, and not just look at it.


Testers will receive MPLite free of charge, and all subsequent releases of MPLite free of charge.  If you have the interest and the time to assist us, please send an email to support@mpword.com


Most likely, MPLite will be a the most popular program we have ever produced.  For a preview of it, see our website:

Best wishes,

How do you copy your SH file to text - do you copy each dictionary separately? nm

I do not copy to text. I copy the spf sm
file to a disk and save the whole thing there, update it occasionally.
Does anyone know how to copy text from Windows to....? sm
Does anyone know how to copy text from a Windows program (Word 2000 or WordPerfect 6.1) to WordPerfect DOS? I know most people want to do it the other way around--from DOS to Windows--but I want to go from Windows to DOS. Thanks for any help you can give!
structured text from free text...
eventually just templates filled in.  being that I am near 50, I will probably be okay, but I feel bad for all the younger MTs just now in school.  according to this article, we will all have to be willing to learn the new ways. 

no more 'blind faith'
Ditto / Palabrio expander program

Recently there was a post here asking people to try the above program - and then the guy came back and thanked participants   


???  Anyone who tried this software - are you willing to share your opinion - for price alone it is definitely worth considering  but I am wondering...


Is it fast, easy to use?   Are the popups annoying?    Can you do functions with it or just expand words/phrases?  


Any info appreciated  /    thanks


Auto Text entries on word. Is there a way to copy these or print these? Thanks in advance. NM

Expander with Beyond Text
What Expander works best with Beyond Text?  I have been using Smartype but my system crashes a lot with it.
text expander

anyone use an inexpensive expander?


Get yourself a text expander instead.
Or use autocorrect and/or autotext if you are using MS Word. You'll remember abbreviations for your expansions a lot easier than all those key combos. Macros for text went away with DOS. :)

Instant Text.... Love It
Text expander

If anybody types for MedScript, can you tell me which text Expander works. Used to use QuickScript and loved it but it will not work over their network.



Thanks guys!

text expander programs....
Hi everyone. I have been an MT for 14 years and have never used a text Expander program. I've only used autocorrect for individual words and phrases and for years I used ExText and its ESP program. I'm looking at Instant Text, but I'm a little concerned about having to make the choices, etc and being distracted by the boxes. I type pretty fast and am wondering if it would actually slow me down. Does anyone have any thoughts, opinions?? Also - feel free to comment about other expander programs.  Thanks.
Which Text Expander do You Prefer?
I am starting a new job for which I have to purchase a text expander.  I have always used Chartscript and therefore I have always used the text Expander in Chartscript.  However, with this new job, I need my own!    Can ya'll tell me what your favorite expander is?  The only one I know even a little bit about is Shorthand.  Thanks in advance.
Instant Text - an expander program.

Try an expander program like Instant Text.

How could a dictionary/text or word expander..sm
compromise patient confidentiality?  Just another ploy by MTSOs for control.  Some of them think we are so dumb they would claim proprietary ownership to our underwear if they could get away with it.
Has anyone had problems with their Shorthand text expander? sm
I have had mine for almost 10 years with no problems and suddenly it started not working. The type it button became inactive. At first restarting it fixed it but then that stopped fixing it so I uninstalled and reinstalled and that worked for about a day and then it stopped working again and reinstalling didn't help the next time. Has anyone had this problem?
You need an expander like Instant Text or Shorthand so you don't have to keep converting every ti

Instant Text expander..Does anyone know if it works with Bayscribe? sm
and how expensive it is?  I currently use ShortHand but reading some of the posts below feel I might be interested in trying Instant Text.  Do you know if I would be able to transfer my Shorthand abbreviations into Instant Text?  Thanks for your help!
Swift Text or cheaper expander info please

I was wondering if anyone uses Swift Text Expander or any other cheaper Expanders (if there are any). I am going to start doing some IC work besides my full-time job. I am going to be paid hourly but I would like an expander just because I am so used to using it now I would be lost without it. I currently use what is built into my work system now and do not any experience with others. I am only going to do this extra work minimally so didn't know if it would be worth investing in a more expensive expander or if I could get by with a cheaper one. Any info/ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for any info.


 


Instant Text is the only expander that can compile glossaries
from previously saved reports and automatically create your short forms so you don't have to memorize anything. Have you been to their site to see the overview of how the program works?
ABCZ expander shortcuts for Instant Text

I am in search of abcz Expander shortcuts already made into a list or glossary for Instant Text or Smartype.  Does anyone know where to find them? 


Thanks


No word expander that is worth its salt is FREE...sm
Wish that was so! There are several that have DEMO versions though, including FlashType offered through this website.
There is also a 30 day free trial and I absolutely love this expander!

Bayscribe expander entries/Instant Text question ...
Has anyone here had success in converting their Bayscribe Expander entries to Instant Text? If so, how did you go about it.

Thanks in advance.
Yes you can use Instant Text. Turn off DQS expander. Tech support can tell you how.

Call Instant Text and find out how to do this.


if can't copy/paste, highlight text, ctrl/x, go to shorthand, ctrl/V

That is "web site" in post above. Also, Auto Copy add-on for Firefox will automatically copy
Auto Copy add-on for Firefox AUTOMATICALLY copies what you select (highlight) on a web site to the clipboard.

Then you can paste it in a document.

It just saves the step of right clicking and then clicking on "copy" to put something on the clipboard. Just select it, and it is on the clipboard.

It only works only on web sites-- only copies stuff you select on web sites, i.e. not in other documents.
Print a copy of the form on your printer, fill it out, copy and send it to your computer via fax may
Just a guess. Or print it, fill it out and fax it to her.
You're not going to find a word expander for free. You're going to have to pay

The RMT is just in beta now
and is meaningless, in any case. Very few employers care whether MTs have a CMT or RMT or whatever. Even fewer even know what a CMT is, and it's a sure thing no one's heard of RMT. The whole certification thing is simply a power grab by AAMT. Their goal is to sponsor legislation in every state that will force every MT to be certified to be employed. Since the AAMT is the only organization offering "certification", guess who will benefit from the whopping fees they will charge to take the test?
re: beta
Could someone who is computer literate please explain this "beta" stuff to me and what it means? Thanks !
what is this beta-thing...

RMT Beta Exam
How many of you are taking the beta exam for the RMT credential? Are you planning to take the final version after beta testing, or will you not take it at all? I'm curious. I received email notice that they have openings until June 1st. Should I bother? I know that many companies ask whether or not we are certified, but do you think it will come to their asking if we are an RMT also? Any and all opinions welcome. Thanks!

I work as a beta tester and they pay me to do it.

I don't believe anyone would pay the 90-somethng bucks to do a beta SM

test which is practically useless. 


Well I too have been selected for the beta test-sm

I am absolutely thrilled about this test and once I have 2 years acute care experience I will write the CMT as well.  To me it is very well worth the $95 US to write the test, even the beta test.  This is something that I would like to achieve. 


No, it is not for everyone.  No, not everyone wants to spend $$ to take a test. We all have different ideas of what is right for us.  For me I want to have those letters behind my name.  In a couple of years I would like to trade them in for the CMT.


I know that there are many here who dislike AAMT and are stongly opposed to many of the things that they are doing but I have got to tell you I have gained so much by being a member of AAMT and especially the Online Chapter of AAMT. 


If you don't like the fact that there is offshoring going on well that is too bad...it is here and it is probably here to stay.  What we can do is offer credentially, such as the RMT, for those in other countries as well so that the can be required to meet a certain level of education and training.  I know I gonna get yelled at here for this one, but this is my opinion.


 


Beta test? Can you elaborate on this a little bit more?

I think it's nuts that it's still in beta test but we still would have to PAY to take it. sm
If I'm helping YOU develop your product, I should not be paying! When game developers need people to beta test their games....the game company PAYS THE TESTER!  AAMT is absolutely out of their minds.
I tested the beta version
I enjoy using the software. I work in InScribe over half the day and have tons of shortcuts in there. Until now, I could not use those shortcuts in other programs. I imported the InScribe shortcut file to Ditto and now I use those shortcuts in WordPerfect and Word. The shortcuts work in e-mail, also. The pop-ups are not annoying - they go away after a few seconds if you do not respond to them. You can do functions with it, also. I have not tried whole blocks of text. For me, it's worth the price. I think you can download and try it before purchase.
Beta is usually a program that is in the development stage
where lots of people use the program to test it out to help make it better and fix all the bugs before the final release.
Anyone else get an email from aamt about REGISTERED MT beta test?
Seems pretty stupid to me.
